The project is partially funded by a Stormwater Financial Assistance Program (SFAP) grant from Ecology that has
not been finalized at the time of this scope development. Anticipated deliverables to be generated by Parametrix
based on . (Ecology requirements included in the final grant award
that do not match these would be considered out of scope.)

Memorandum. Examples of available data to be collected are:
Basin hydrography/water feature mapping, including streams and lakes or other receiving waters
Basin topography
Aerial photos
Watershed catchment delineations
Drainage system maps
Stormwater facility location and type maps
Land cover, including soils, vegetation type, tree canopy, and condition
Impervious surfaces
Public rights-of-way
ADT (where data is readily available)
Vacant land maps (if available)
Future proposed land use from zoning, growth plans, and active building projects (if applicable)
Critical areas, such as wetlands, steep slopes or geologic hazards, buffers, and floodplains
Water quality and stream conditions
Watershed Characterization Project
National Water Quality Assessment Program
SAM produced regional receiving water assessments

Results of recent stormwater system needs assessment, including map of problem areas and basic
project sheets developed to-date
The City will provide Parametrix with document review comments from all City reviewers consolidated
into a single electronic file.
Data gaps that the City chooses to be filled for the project will be addressed by the City. (Parametrix can
collect certain data for additional scope and fee.)
The City will directly request available information from other public entities, such as WRIAs, the County,
the Army Corps, or Ecology.

TASK 2C RECEIVING WATER ASSESSMENT
The goal of this task is to assess existing information collected in Task 2 to document relative conditions of the
local receiving waters and contributing areas based on the requirements of Permit Section S.5.C.1.d.i.
Approach
Basin Boundary Check: Parametrix will use existing watershed catchment delineations and potentially resize,
combine, or subdivide drainage areas based on analysis units compatible with SMAP review.
Watershed Inventory: Parametrix will:
Identify common basin characteristics for reviewing and categorizing condition and need.
Review data gathered in Task 2 pertaining to landscape characteristics (land use and cover, road density,
age of development/stormwater management infrastructure, impervious area, stream buffers, intact
floodplains, and crossings) that usually affect surface water conditions.
Assess the relative development potential in the basin using available vacant (undeveloped parcels) and
developable (non-floodplain, steep slope, or similar critical areas) land.
Work with the City to identify water quality conditions to that may need improvement.
NPDES Table and Map: Parametrix will prepare a Watershed Inventory and accompanying web map documenting
the drainage areas based on Permit requirements. As previously stated, the inventory will build substantially on
Assessment and Stormwater Management Memorandum. The inventory will be in table format and will include:
Each receiving water name, its total watershed area, the percent of the total watershed area that is in the

Findings of the stormwater management influence assessment for each basin and indication of which
receiving waters will be included in the S5.C.1.d.ii prioritization process.

Parametrix will:
Prepare prioritization metrics for local watersheds for review and agreement by the City.
Identify restoration or protection goal(s) for each watershed or watershed group based on basin
characteristics and protection needs.
Evaluate current and potential opportunities to address watershed restoration and protection goals for
each watershed or watershed group.
Prioritize watersheds or watershed groups based on agreed metrics using a GIS/spreadsheet scoring tool.
Work with the City to identify additional, non-quantifiable opportunities and constraints such as political
support, funding applicability, community perception, etc. in the watershed prioritization.

Approach
Action Identification: Parametrix will work with the City to identify and create a list of:
Concept-level potential stormwater facility retrofits for the area, including identification of BMP types (in
broad categories such as distributed LID retrofits, regional flow control facilities, targeted water quality
media filtration for particular pollutants, etc.) and preferred locations where possible (in general
categories such as regional vs. site-specific facilities, retrofits in the right-of-way vs. parcels, excluded
areas such as protected natural resources, etc.)
Land management/development strategies and/or actions for water quality management
Targeted, enhanced, or customized permit-related stormwater management actions such as IDDE field
screening, prioritization or source control inspections, O&M inspections, enhanced maintenance, and/or
public education and outreach behavior change programs.
If applicable, changes needed to local long-range plans to address SMAP priorities
A proposed implementation schedule and budget sources for short- and long-term actions
A process for future assessments and feedback to inform future changes
Public Engagement Support: Parametrix will:
Support the City in preparing for a virtual/online Public Open House to present the SMAP process so far
and outline the potential identified actions.
Update the web-based GIS story map for use during the Open House and suitable for distribution to the
Public afterwards to facilitate comment collection.
SMAP Report: Parametrix will develop a SMAP report that outlines the identified actions and incorporates
adjustments based on public comment, as approved by the City.
SEPA Checklist: Parametrix will prepare a SEPA checklist, supporting figures, and text of a public notification for
City Check-In Meeting
period to present the draft SMAP Report, answer questions, and collect preliminary comments.
Assumptions
Up to 3 Parametrix staff members will participate in the Public Open House. One 2-hour meeting is
assumed.
The City will identify and invite other City staff to participate in the Public Open House, coordinate the
online platform and time, and conduct public advertising of the event leading up to it.
Parametrix will be responsible for developing the figures which will be included in the SMAP.
The Receiving Water Assessment and Receiving Water Prioritization technical memoranda prepared
under earlier tasks will be included as appendices to the SMAP Report.
The City will provide Parametrix with document review comments from all City reviewers consolidated
into a single electronic Excel table file.
SCOPE OF WORK (continued)
City of Renton 553-1779-887

For all Ecology submittals (grant deliverables, Permit submittals, etc.), Parametrix will submit documents
to the City, and the City will submit the documents to Ecology.
